He never made His will clear to me until I stepped out in faith. Everything was still troubling on that day when He spoke to me. Nothing around me in my circumstances seemed to have God's touch on it at all

That's the odd and funny part.

God loves to surprise us, I believe.

He is such a great God.

I believe He rewards when we persevere for Him. Perseverance is one of the fruits of the spirit that has been much overlooked.

Lol, no one wants or asks for perseverance. Because that means you will go through trials and harsh situations but still need to trust God. I don't like those kind of situations and I'm sure no one else does either.

Being sent to another country has got to be scary. I wouldn't want to be in your shoes. Yet God is there with you in your shoes, annapple

spiritwinds, you too, sister, you are a blessed woman

Kanga, don't be afraid, just seek His face

God's blessings on everyone here!

Lord, I hope I'm truly following you.

Please pray for me that I am hearing the Lord correctly. My life is in a scary place right now.

God Bless,
Monica

How blessed you are that God has called you so clearly. He is sending us to a new country but I don't know why yet! I know He has a plan for us, I am just praying He makes it clear what he wants us to do. Right now I am sad to be leaving where we are; I guess it is OK to mourn what we are leaving, right?

Your will, Lord, not ours.

Praying for both of you, sisters.

Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

WOW! I leave for a few hours and come back to a hopping thread! Where's wolfman hiding at????

Hey all, I'm back again. I want to tell you all, the seven hour trip that I was dreading turned out to be one of the best things that could possibly happen to me. On it, I ended up spending a lot more time studying God's Word than I ever have in one day before. I got to the point where I was enjoying reading the Bible. I'm not telling you guys all this to boast about what I've done, but to boast about what God's doing.

I feel so much closer to God now and I spent even more time with God on the way back. I was greatly challenged in my faith. I've found that my definition of faith was completely lacking. I have since revised it entirely and am now working on putting faith into action.

That is awesome Eldaah!

I have a heart for the homeless and for addicts. I was unfairly shut out of a county-wide ministry named "Living Water Ministries."

The women that shut me out were very cruel in their way of doing it. I will not go into detail here as in their methods, but let me just say I was lied about and my family was slandered.

Now I am no longer in jail ministry because of these ladies and I am no longer allowed to participate in their plans to open a shelter/halfway house for prison inmates who get out of jail and have no place to go and get dry of drugs and alcohol.

I did nothing wrong at the jail ministry. Only a private meeting where we were discussing pastors, and which pastors should be on our board for the new halfway house, did I say something that offended them.

They proceeded to slander me and pull the rug from under my feet completely within 2 months, even though I had repeatedly apologized for saying that their pastor was uncaring toward the homeless (He is uncaring toward the homeless.)

God has given me a new ministry where I help a shelter already in place. This makes those ladies at Living Water very angry, because they said I couldn't be in ministry any more. They basically cut my wings off, or so they thought.

Lol, they don't know God very well. God puts fortitude and strength in His children and He doesn't tell them to stop just when things start to get exciting.

After they kicked me out, about 1 month later I was walking outside with my toddler in his stroller. The Lord spoke to me ever-so-clearly: He said: "You will be over the NEW jail ministry and the NEW Halfway house. Then all those that laughed at you will stop laughing. They will no longer ridicule you for saying that I called you.

Also," He added, "They will no longer laugh at Me."

I asked Him, "Lord, when did they laugh at YOU?"

He said, "When they laughed at you, my child, they laughed at Me, for I chose you."

10 minutes after he spoke to me, I saw two other mothers strolling their children in strollers too. I waved at them; they waved at me, I thought nothing of it.

but when I got to my house, I said to my little boy: "Let's go around the block again. I want to walk some more."

The second time around the block, the 2 ladies were walking toward me again. They stopped me and started testifying of the Lord's grace. The Lord told me to tell them what He had said to me about the jail ministry and halfway house.

I didn't want to do it; I was embarrassed, I didn't even know these ladies.

But I did it.

The blond headed lady said, "My husband and I are pastors, can you come to our bible study at the shelter in _______?"

And that's when I started volunteering at that shelter.

I am learning now and need to finish school, but I will start up a shelter here in my own hometown, when the right time comes, when God speaks and moves.

And that's my story in a general way.

Be encouraged, spiritwinds, God will not let you down in your ministry to your people.

WOW-- truly inspiring!

Is it not arrogant of some Christians to think they are more righteous or holier than you and are more capable of determining whether or not God has called you into a ministry? I found it astounding being told by some Christians that if I pursued my ministry that I would be in disobedience to God.

It's very unfortunate our Sisters and Brothers are capable of speaking those statements. I do pray they are drawn closer to God and hear Him better than they have before.

Lord, I hope I'm truly following you.

Please pray for me that I am hearing the Lord correctly. My life is in a scary place right now.

God Bless,
Monica

Praying for you Kanga.

Your will, Lord, not ours.

Now that is exciting! Of course it's okay to mourn leaving-- I would too. But just think of how incredible this is going to be also. I guess this has been a season of preparation for you and your family-- how awesome!

He never made His will clear to me until I stepped out in faith. Everything was still troubling on that day when He spoke to me. Nothing around me in my circumstances seemed to have God's touch on it at all

I know what that feels like too!

He is such a great God.

Yes He is!

I believe He rewards when we persevere for Him. Perseverance is one of the fruits of the spirit that has been much overlooked.

Lol, no one wants or asks for perseverance. Because that means you will go through trials and harsh situations but still need to trust God. I don't like those kind of situations and I'm sure no one else does either.

That is an excellent observation. I have never thought of it like that.
